Last Friday about two o'clock a very hard wind struck Union, accompanied by a hard rain. The wiud b'ew down several trees, some fences and corn, but the greatest damage was wlone on the upper end of Main street. The roof on thj Dunn Building, which covers two stores was raised, broken half in two and rafters, joist and tia rose thirty feet in the ail*and cams sailing to the front. V # ii'itO < ' ?? n/1 ^ h/mm t? rj iL-L'irw f Im LU new um; ^luvcuitu iiuiu V/iuooni^ iin: A'reet and wrecking the fronts of otl er stores by striking a tall telephone pole which threw it back and it fell to the grouud a mass of wreckage. The whole wreckage fell on a wagon and a team of inuh s,audit isalmost miracul >ns that Ike mules escaped with only slight bruises. The telephone pole was broken off at the | ground and fell across the street break, uig a number of wires and tangling them badly. The telep'i >ne and the electric light people went tj work at once to tix up the wires. One of the store rooms was occupied by McLaughlin & Brown, the oth -r by S. M. lticj's Wonder Store. When the roof br? ke, the timbers in the rear of the building gave way and brick, plastering and timbers came tumbling into the sto es, leavieg a pile of debris four o: live feet high w Inch njni' near killing saverabpec? pie. Mr. Will Brown and lp* clerk, Mr. Wi.l Sexton, went to Uh back door to ; hold it shut, ami another gentleman was standing near them when tlie top fell in, | all around and over them, fortunately i the heavy timbers missed them hat they ! were considerably brui-e I an 1 scratched ' by the falling brielc and plastering. Mr. I 3. M. 11 ee's life was sived in a provi- I jdential manner. When the rain begin] he was sitting at his desk but he went lq the front to get souk gooJs off the street. Noticing that hit ba^k door had been blown open and the wind was playing h ivack in the store he started on' a run to close the dx>r, hut when In got half way the top fell in, right in front of hi in, covering up his desk with heavy timbers, and the counters in the rear with the mass of rubbish. They all ha 1 a close call, and to look at. the wreck, 1 one would not think it possible tint any one could have been in it without getting seriously ii jured if not killed. Fortunately there were two vacant atons in town and the work of moving b gin at once, with the ai<i of ueiguboring merchants and clt-iks who joined in and heljied < with a will, lly night McLaughlin & Drown had moved their stock to the old Graham \ Sparks storeroom, and S. M, IIice liad moved to one of (.'apt. Foster's buildings, both on Main street. The damage to the building was con* s'derable, possibly $700 or $300, while that to the goals of thi merchants was not verygiv.it, amounting to probably SiUO, as only heavy goals were kept i.i the rear of the store.

A scholarship In Converse College was offered by the (traded School cf l.'nion to be contested for by the graduating class. Miss Fdua Vaster won 1 his scholarship. After investigation her father, Mr. T. K. Foster, decided to send Miss Edna to Wi;p throp Normal Institute, notwithstanding the free scholarship at Con. verse. As this was his decision Miss F,dna, learning that a scholarship was open for I'nion County in Winthrop, decided to enter the contest with several others for the scholarship, and by t lie same earnest olior-t and close application that crowned Iter with sttooess in the former contest- sju. succeeded in wlnulm? 'V.s scholarship also, Th'.j Is (|iiitean enviable record that this popular and accomplished young lady has made. One that any one might he proud of, and one that very few have to their credit. A girl who can win such laurals will retlect credit upon not only herself and family but upon the community in which she lives, bo she at Converse, Winthrop or any other Institution. We congratulate her and wish her much success in her new field of studies, and may she reiurn to us orownod with additional Inurals. Miss Kdna is a fair sample of tlie work being accomplished by the earnest work of the teachers in our graded I school ami we feel thai such results must be very gratifying to her instructors who trained her as she progrossed t hr High the different grades.

While no olllciuls orde.s have been issued saying as much explicitly, the talk and acts of Secretary 11 >ot have j made it apparent that he intends h tving G between forty and lifty thousand rlT-ctive lighting men iu the Philippines by the close of the rainy season; also probably that he intends, without in any way discrediting (len.
